I'm co-hosting Cookbook Countdown together with Joyce of Kitchen Flavours. If you are like us, who love to collect cookbooks and have an overcrowding bookshelf (or bookshelves!), yet most of the books have not been used at all, now is the time to change that. Join us at Cookbook Countdown

For October 2016, I had a tough time deciding on whether to continue with Terry Tan's

or choose one of these:

and in the end

100 Best Classic Tapas won!

Fresh salmon with red pepper sauce ~ pages 102-103

*Roasted one red pepper on the hob burner till blackened

remove and place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap

(I rinsed and reused the original plastic wrap the pepper came in!)

and leave it for 15 mins.

*skin salmon and cut into 1 inch cubes, season with pepper

fry in olive oil in pan until lightly brown on all sides, remove from pan

*in same pan, saute chopped onions and garlic in olive oil (Spanish!)

until soften but not browned.

add dry white wine, let it bubble for 1 minute,

remove from heat and set aside.

*Scrap the skin off the roasted red pepper,

remove core and seeds,

place prepare pepper in blender, add the onion, garlic and wine mixture,

and cream - puree the mixture and remove to small pot (for reheating)

*ladle enough of warmed red pepper sauce to lightly coat the salmon,

with extra in small sauce plate for dipping,

serve warm
